Trying to find Jelf

Hi, I am researching my late Grandmothers family. She was born Clara Sanders in 1876. Daughter of James and Hannah Sanders. She Married a William Jelf in 1904 who was a lot older than her and came from the Worcestershire area. They had two children together before parting company. She took up with my Gandfather frederick Rowberry around 1908 i believe and they had four children together amongst them my late Father Leslie Rowberry. They did not Marry until 1938 by which time William whome she was never divorced from had been dead around nine years. I have gained a lot of information on her life with Frederick and have done a fair bit of tracing in her life as a Sanders but I am finding it almost impossible to trace her life whilst Married to William Jelf. I would love to hear from anyone who can tie in with this and give me an insight into her life with William and in particular what went wrong. Pat Weston - nee Rowberry
